About Going 18 Interested 40

A meetup at the British Watchmakers’ Day. Info here.

Alliance members go free - ticket pricing for non-Alliance members TBA at present.

It’ll be a great celebration of the current crop of UK watch brands with some very special pieces on display. If you’re around, we can visit the show and go for drinks and a bite to eat after. Maybe even squeeze a visit to Battersea Power Station and have a look at the plethora of watch boutiques there.

If you’ve never been to a meetup and wondered what it’d be like, wonder no more! Come meet some real humans and ask ‘should I buy this watch?’ in person! If you're attending and you see a fellow WatchCruncher, don't be afraid to say Hi!

There are two time slots: 10AM-2PM session

Meet your host

Chung

Really into watches and photography. Come say Hi on here or IG: chunghauphoto

Looks interesting...

As I understand it, if you want a chance of getting any of the limited edition watches you'll need to go in the morning.

Thanks @hamishfrob. Good info!

Bought my tickets for the 2-6pm slot this morning - already excited! I'm guessing others will be trying to get there early, but if anyone fancies meeting up in the pm session, let me know.

Excellent! I think they’re just trying to manage the attendances a little bit - I can’t believe they’ll kick people out from the morning session!

It seems at least one brand has announced there intentions for the day. Only available on the day if you attend in person and enter their lottery

·

Anyone thinking of going to this should know that morning tickets are already sold out so get your afternoon ticket soon! I'm running an aftershow party nearby, see the separate Meetup.

·

I’m looking for an afternoon ticket, so if you have an unwanted one please get in touch and I’ll buy it from you.

Not sure if tix have gone on general sale yet?

·

I’ve looked into this and all tickets are sold out. I’m an Alliance member so have a ticket for myself but am looking for one for a mate, hence my request for someone with an afternoon spare ticket that I’m happy to buy.

Wow - the Alliance may need a bigger venue next time!

Good luck in your search for a spare ticket

Obviously we're doing our afterparty at The Royal Oak nearby from 5. I would recommend saying all Watchcrunchers meet at the bar in the hall at a specific time. Looking forward to catching up, I've got my new British watches to wear, and I'm seriously taken by the new Fears today!

HI Mate, you can sign up on our website. and I've put it as a Meetup on here. We'll be there from 5:00PM, but aren't publicising it too widely for security reasons.

Bear in mind we have you be there in person for the raffle/lottery at 4pm… it may have to be a dinner?

So how does this work if we have morning tickets??

Do we have to come back?

I have no idea. I’m assuming there’ll be ‘measures’ in place… I can’t see them turning away the £500k, us ‘morning people’ will be laying down for the Roger Smith unique piece, for example….

I’ve got myself a members 2-6 ticket so I don’t have to get up at 5am 😂😂

Got a lot of travelling tomorrow but I can’t wait!! Hope to see some of you there!!

My copy of oracle time arrived today - just in time!

I wonder how the brands will split the special editions? 50% for each session I guess? That would be fairest.
